A lower range used Hirochi Sunbirst, probably the base model. Buuuuuuuut if i could i would buy a Hirochi Sunbirst Start. Yeah, thats a mod
with what my truck cost I will use 8500 as my max with 8500 I would buy 4800 for the pessima with a v6 and manual 3600 for the d15 v8 and manual and have 100 left over here are the vehicles So this is actually realistic to what I would buy with the money to replace my truck ^^engines
Modded cars: Hirochi Sunburst Trail & Field SW 1.8 (in theory only, I don't have enough money) or 1996 Ibishu Pessima LX V6 AWD wagon Vanilla cars: 1996 Ibishu Pessima LX V6 Sport
id probably either get a Ibishu Pessima GTT and a SBR4 near base model because they are both cheap yet fast
Bruckell moonhawk, sonce it looks good and has decent performance + I could register it as a classic vehicle which means that I wouldn't need to pass emissions. (And I'd do a sneaky diesel swap just to annoy everyone and roll coal since I wouldn't need to pass emissions)
Bruckell Moonhawk Special. Upgrade supercharger to stage 2, race suspension, plate spoiler, possibly change to a 2.83 limited slip rear (or possibly 2.64, if I can get that gearset in a limited slip). There are a distinct lack of 16" and 17" muscle-type wheels in the base game so we'll just assume that 17x8 and 17x9 versions of Alder Dragger and Alder Powr-Push exist in-universe and haven't been added yet; add those, preferably Dragger, with the best summer tires I can get. Paint it jet black with stark white flames coming off the wheel wells. Nice not-so-little "do everything car" which should have some OK top end, but with the power to push those low gears at a lower speed.
Bruckell Moonhawk V8 Special in black with the 2 white strips. I love the interior, it's so unique. Its got a good ride height so it can take on some bad dirt roads just as good as a D-series. Its fast but controllable (from a keyboard user), reasonable fuel economy for a old car, and to me it just looks amassing. I've done so many test on all the vehicles and somehow the moonhawk just beats every vehicle in some way. I'll give you a example, SBR 4 vs moonhawk: SBR 4 faster but the moonhawk is better on a off road trail and both to me (keyboard player) are equal in handling as long as the SBR 4 has traction control on.
